I inherited an old run down 44g tank with a foxface and four evil damsels in it. The people that owned the house before us left it here. I had no idea of how to care for it, and had no internet to do any research. It was in a big bay window with no backing in it, the hair algae and mess was astounding... It was a nightmare... but we stuck with it.
A year ago I bought my 260g from a canreef member and we had to cut it apart to get it out of the fellow's basement... we just put it back together in September, then cycled it and added livestock to it in December.
As a teen I worked in a pet store and had a freshwater tank for a very long time. Then before we moved I always had three nice bowls with Bettas in them. They all lived three or four years. They were so easy going to care for...
